"Southbay Unlimited has been blessed to get the chance to work with Yesie from YM Photo. It was her that inspired us to not pay attention to posing, but rather to be in front of the camera and remain in a natural state. There was a creative ambiance during the Lyrical Junkyard photo shoot that was definitely felt. The photo shoot had its speed bumps in the initial location, but Yesie is one to take these matters in her own hands. We improvised & found that both members of Southbay Untld. Were forced to be put in a situation where anything goes. The location was changed to two separate locations; both correlated with the them of a Junkyard, and had the two brothers stepping in and out of trash receptacles.The shoot proved to be a success, while during it the brothers recited lines from various songs on the mixtape. With shot after shot Yesie swiftly captured scenes that matched the mixtapes’ theme. There were wardrobe changes to fit the different scenes & Yesie was there to lend & accept suggestions. It was safe to say that she handled the photo shoot in a highly professional manner, while keeping a creative free flow vibe. Just by taking a look at her work you can distinguish what a real photographer can capture from a click of a camera. Her résumé of work speaks for itself."

"Thank you so much for taking my grad photos, I absolutely love them! The creativity and your way of capturing the moment was exactly what I hoped for. I would highly recommend YM services for anyone who wants fabulous photographs of any special occasion!!” Yesie will give you the Top Model 101, make you feel at ease and help you get that perfect shot, not to mention that she is really professional, friendly and approachable!"

"My wife and I recently had a baby boy, and decided that we were going to have pictures taken when we were on vacation in Torrance, CA. Not only was YM Photo willing to set up an appointment over the phone, but she was willing to drive two hours out to San Pedro to meet us. Originally we were going to shoot at the beach, but the weather looked too gloomy and I decided that a park was a better location; again, YM Photo was more than willing to accommodate. The shoot went on without a hitch, and Yesie even entertained my 3 month old while my wife looked at the pictures she had taken and while I drove to the bank to pick up the money. It was a great experience having our pictures taken by an experienced professional who was more than willing to go the extra mile to make sure that we got the family pictures we wanted, and I look forward to working with her again for our Christmas photos."

"Last weekend I did my second photo shoot with Yesie M. from YM Photo. Much like the last shoot (Rose Grenade), the theme was pretty interesting and sparked creativity from both our sides. The theme played with the thought of war and what life maybe like in the future for everyday situtations. The shoot took place at the Wilson Park, centered in the middle of Torrance. Early morning, and you would think the place would be next to empty on a Saturday, but no, not this time. In fact their was an entire club having a pancake breakfast at the park benches, so I just had to suck it up and go along with the shoot. First stop was the swings (no I didn't kick any kids out), but the kids did end up crowding around to check out the guy with the gas mask on. We got around to the tree house afterwards, and took a couple shot there that came out good and went with the theme. What really set the tone was a perfectly placed sign reading "This Area Is Under Video Surveillance" in straight old fashioned Big Brother style. Don't forget, this is in a tree-house for kids, kids! What's next... cameras in Pre-schools?? After the treehouse was used, we went to the local pop shop Benny's, and took a few poses outside. My friends kid brother rolled by with a sharp looking bike and I had to get a picture with it. For the final location, Yesie chose the fine establishment of 7/11. I finally had a chance to lose the coat, and drop the mask. I leaned against the glass of the store, and since their was an employee outside smoking a cigarette, Yesie asked him to light me one so I could hold it for a shot. I don't smoke, actually I'm very against it, but for art, sacrifice calls. The picture came out very well I think, kind of has a urban rebelious Sinatra vibe to it. So for my second attempt at modeling, I had fun. We might be making a trilogy out of this so I'll keep everyone updated on what to expect next...but always be prepared for the unexpected..."
